TIE REUNION OF -.
Garfield's Conspicuous Part i'm 1.-THE
Unyeilinx Of the Thomas Statue.

On the last and only occasion when the Society
OF the Army OF the Cumberland met in this city il
was to unveil the equestrian statue OF Gen.
Thomas now occupying Thomas Circle. Gen. Gar.
field was a conspicuous figure in these ceremonies
He was chairman OF the local executive committee
which arranged all the preEIninaries and details
His associates ON the committee were Hon.
Thomas L. Young and Gen. A. Ned. McCcok, and
Col. n. C. Coonn as secretary.
The society met on the Goth OF November, 1879
and a month or 30 prior to that date the CON-
mittee established its headquarters at 1921 b
street northwest. Circulars were sent out by the
thousand to eX-sOldiers, to public officials and
them tSa sa as the

on the 1eth and 10th OF November, and

Gen. GARFIELD, as chairman OF the local executive
committees, was kept very busy from about the
middle OF october until after the unwilling ex-
ercises. IL was Gen. Garflelds committee that
selected Judge Stanley Matthews TO deliver the
one OF the serious difnculties the committee en-
countered was In obtaining reduced railroad rates
FRO m all points In the country TO washington. In
their report 10 the society at its meeting here the
com mittee stated that though they made every
effort the high rates OF railroads prevented many
residents OF distant States from attending. In
this connection the committee advised that the
matter OF transportation for reunions 70 be held
thereafter be given earlier attention. They added
In their report that the greatest em6arrassments
which met them could have been overcome had
they had more time. Notwithstanding the re-
fusal OF many OF the railroads TO give low rates,
the meeting In Washington was the largest the
society ever held. There were about 600 members
here out OF q total membership OF about 500.
The society business meetings were held In WI
lard Han. but that was not large enough for the
evening meetings. After looking the city over for
large hall the committee decided 70 erect large
tent On tho lot south OF the Executive Mansion. Al

GEN. GARFIELD AS A SOLDIER.
His Famous Ride at Chsckamauua-
I'm Camp and Field.

General Garfields historians record him as
brave and sagacious on the battlefield; his COM
rades in camp speak affectionately of him as one
of "the best fellows on the world" General Full
lerton said OF him, speaking with . STAR reporter
last night: ''He was whole-souled, cordial and q
general good fellow in camp. He was friendly
and good natured with everybody, and joined with
us in our songs and merrymaking. He was Inn
mensely popular. Everybody liked him, and we
oil respected his high abilities He was a man
who would throw his arm across your shoulders,
and be good companion, with never a shadow of
malice OF jealousy in his nature. His presence
trating, firm, and courageous. His advice was
good and he commanded confidence. His firm

mauga, watch has become SO famous. He
could easily have staid with Gen. Rosecrans
determination impelled him to seek the point Of
danger, and the way he faced all the dangers that
lay between him and Thomas admirably displayed
his noble qualities as q soldier. cannot say that
hts coming gave Thomas new courage, for Thomas
never lost courage. cannot say that it inspired
him to fresh activity, for that was impossible; I
cannot soy that he assisted Thomas with his adj
vice, for Thomas needed no advice. Thomas pos
perfection, within himself; but Garnelds arrival
added the presence OF another great spirit in an
hour OF great trial"
GEN. GARFIKLDS WAR RECORD.
General Garhelds biographers speak with pride
OF his military record and refer to his ride to
Thomas camp as 'far more momentous and try
